Did you know that you can study manga at universities in Japan?  The first attempts to set up manga departments were greeted skeptically because universities were considered unsuited to fostering manga artists who needed creative ideas and drawing ability to be successful.

Kobe Design University is one such university that has a special manga course which gives students the opportunity to present their work to editors of manga magazines.  The curriculum for a manga major is not easy with students having to produce the equivalent of about 400 pages of storyboard over a year. In every class, students are trained to create stories and characters.

At least 10 universities offer majors or courses on manga and animation including  Tokyo Polytechnic University,  Osaka University of Arts , Kyoto Seika University, Tama Art University and Bunsei University of Art
